Lincoln Blu-Ray + DVD Review

Synopsis: Capturing the danger and excitement of political intrigue, Steven Spielberg's Lincoln chronicles the final four months in the life of the man regarded as America's greatest President. Starring Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role, the untold story focuses on a defining moment in Abraham Lincoln's life - as commander-in-chief of a country in chaos; as a husband and father afraid of losing his own son to the war; and as a man guided by his conscience to end slavery. With the Civil War nearing conclusion, President Lincoln fights to convince a fractious Congress to pass a Constitutional amendment that will change the course of history. Facing fierce opposition, he wages a battle of strategy, persuasion, and political muscle to build a coalition out of his team of rivals.

Review: There was a lot of buzz surrounding the release of Lincoln, mostly thanks to the director and the esteemed actor Daniel Day-Lewis portraying the late president. I became a lifelong fan of Daniel Day-Lewis the moment I saw "There Will Be Blood". I have taken a solemn oath to see all of this films, because he is a character actor of such a high caliber that he's not to be missed and his performance in Lincoln is no exception! This film instantly transports you to the days of yore with impecible costume and set design and amazing performances from actors like Day-Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones. This film is a must see for the entire family and without a doubt a must own!
